for the amount of you sales you bought jupiter, this is how they say Thanks ...

Hit me up..I have some info that'll make your head spin.....

BBB is more powerable then you may think...

Just to let you know... I hear you and this forum is meant for threads like this

:2 cents:

Correct, and it doesn't take an attorney to administer it either. They could put a paralegal to the task.

Post it.

wow, good luck

Boneprone, I just sent you a message on ICQ.. It *MIGHT* be a loophole for you to work with....

A lot of you guys are talking about defult judgement.
What is your suggestion for avoiding this?


I think I iwll be taking Ethersync's advice. Thank you.
He says:


"Dispute the debt and make them furnish proof you owe this money. If they can not provide the proof, which is common, the entire matter is over with. No more stress, no hit on your credit report, no more problem.....

Use the letter here: http://privacyrights.org/Letters/debt1.htm
"

hey people! you dont have my icq i guess!

its 66883099

Someone else must be playing boneprone

Can someone please give me SuzzyQ's icq???

I never got your icq. I dont think you have my icq. Id like to hear what you have to say.

Boneprone, 424555637.. im on right now

oh jesus... again...

don't pay a dime... this is hitting home if ya know what i mean

Id be VERY surprised if they pay over 25.00, and probably down closer to 20.00 :2 cents:

Tell them you need proof that you owe them.. its that simple.. If they dont give it to you in 30 days, you pay nothing.. If they keep calling, writing, without giving proof, file harrasement charges.

This is a really shitty situation.

It's a really onerous contract, but Bone prolly didn't even read it before signing it because he trusted Lens and crew so much. They go way way back.

Then Jupiter gets sold and the new owners are really milking that shit for all it's worth.

If the termination fee added up to the number of months left on the contract....that being the one year auto extension of said contract, then that would make sense.
If they're quoting you 5K even, then it sounds like they just pulled that out of their ass....or now want to charge you back rent on the server that was "comped" since you're leaving.

Either way, these seem like pretty shylock tactics. For a $9K bill, you'd think one of the higher-ups in the company would call you up to explain everything to you.

Seriously dude you just need to chill out and talk to a lawyer.

I doubt a such contract is even legal, this kind of product devaluates a lot... you can get a 30mbits server for 200 a month now.

That's some fucked up shit yo

keep me qued in on this one... I wanna know the outcome.

Well it looks like 5k is for the remainder of the year.
The contract auto renews every october. I left in November.

So for the year its 12months X $697.00 = About $9,000.00

Thats how they get it.

You definitely need to take that contract to your attorney and let him/her look it over.

Even if you signed it, sometimes shit in contracts are so onerous that it voids the whole thing.
Either way, a phone call from a competent attorney might grease the wheels for a settlement of less than $9000, especially if it saves them from having to go to court and then pursue you via a collections agency.

Yeah, it sounds like they really care about the BBB's stamp of approval. When was the last time you checked with the BBB before using a service?

Im sure it is legal.

Its wrong, but its legal. Its a contract. I signed it and didnt read it. If I had I would have closed my server down 3 weeks earlier and would have saved $9,000.00

not about suzy... this whole fuckin bullshit about oweing money... this is my biz too

every time

Here is the process:

Really? What host are you using that is listed with the BBB?

There's another forum dedicated to webhosting, huge one. Most host out there have reps that post there. I've noticed most of the host out there will defend themselves if there's something bad posted about them there. Most webmasters probably know the forum I'm talking about. If you don't know give me your ICQ and I'll tell ya the url. You would be able to warn more people and might get more answers there...

not hosted there.. never was, but I called them yesterday to find out what the fuck they think they're doing hitting me multiple times from each ip in their subnet

I have read every fuckin post on this thread... I have also delt w/ host companies keeping my site for ransom... and still paying for it. You can always open a case if BBB doesn't have it on file... this is fucking bullshit and when this thread ends I hope boneprone gets justice... meaning...

NO more fucking contacts, emails, etc. to say he owes money. I've dealt with this bullshit and now will make it a priority that this shit happens no more.

BTW...

GFY is HOSTED at Jupiter Hosting.

FYI.

Yes and they proudly inform us about that at the bottom of this page :helpme

Really quite surprised how Jupiter turned out.

Great finally a bizz talk again on GFY

They are or were located like 5 minutes away from my office... want me to pay them a visit for you? lol

What kind of Attorney do I need here.


People are telling me to lawyer up. Shit the only Attorney Ive ever worked with was a Criminal Defense Attorney.. He was expensive. And we went to trial and lost. (long story)

I dont think I need one of those guys. And I dont want to pay THOUSANDS for an attorney for this bullshit shakedown. (this is a shakedown no matter how you look at it)

What the process in getting an attorney? Last time I just asked around for who was the best. (it was to keep me out of jail)

This time I want something cheap. If im fighting over 9k, i dont want to pay 3k for an attorney.

What and how do I get one that can do the job for me?

uhmmmm..... just have friends my man. stop asking where youre help is...

My "friends" got me into this contract.

Where is my fucking help. None of you are my fucking friend.

None of you.

My real family are the ones in this house of mine.

Not GFY... Not the Industry. Fuck em. And Fuck em all.

maybe you have friends in small places

Quote: Where is my fucking help. None of you are my fucking friend.

true words spoken
when it comes down to problems, everyone is on his own. It is one of those lessons life learned me, and fortunately you are confronted with this lesson also.
Friendships in this industry are 99% based on money.

Dont taunt me Tanto.
